Capture20 is this year’s edition of Europol’s photo competition. The 2020 edition comes at a time of unprecedented crisis for our communities and the law enforcement officers tasked with protecting them. At times, it seems as though COVID-19 has penetrated every aspect of our daily lives. It is no different for law enforcement: as criminals have quickly adapted their techniques to exploit our fears around the COVID-19 pandemic, policing must adapt too.
Europol is inviting professional and amateur photographers working for law enforcement authorities to show the changing routines of police officers and their work to ease the impact of the virus on citizens across Europe and beyond.
Law enforcement officers with an eye for photography can submit up to five photos in two categories. Two winning photos will be selected and the lucky photographers will win a free trip to the Netherlands:
- Making Europe safer: Show us how police officers carry out their job on a daily basis to fight crime: training exercises, manoeuvres, law enforcement pictured in abstract and artistic form.
- COVID-19 pandemic policing: Share your stories from the front line of this unprecedented crisis: show us how police are adjusting their work to the ‘new normal’ to ensure the safety of European citizens.
Closing date: 15 August 2020

Entries will be used in Europol publications, including calendars, social media and other communication products, as has been the case previously.
